Keep Still

When I was young I wished that my eyes functioned like a camera. I would only have to blink and whatever image that was in front of me would be captured and saved exactly as it was, to preserve and store the moment. Today I imagine my whole body as a camera, light comes in and through, recording and reflecting. Mechanical technology is what I use to actually document images but the idea that my eyes are also a lens has stayed with me.

These images are part of my 2012 MFA thesis exhibition which included photographs, video, and sound installation.
